Ph.D. Research

My thesis title is Craniofacial morphology, adaptation, and paranasal pneumatisation in Pleistocene hominins. It is an investigation into the relationship between the size, shape, and function of sinuses, and craniofacial shape in Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals, and humans. I use CT scans of fossil and dry crania and 3D landmark-based geometric morphometrics.
